In a London Nursing home an old priest lay dying.
For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation’s capital.
He motioned for his nurse to come near. Yes, Father..? said the nurse.
I would really like to see Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock before I die.. whispered the priest.
I’ll see what I can do, Father, replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to No 10 and waited for a response.
Soon the word arrived; Boris and Matt would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they went to the hospital, Boris commented to Matt, I don’t know why the old priest wants to see us, but it certainly will help our images.
Matt agreed that it was the right thing to do at this time.
When they arrived at the priest’s room, the priest took Boris’s hand in his right hand and the Matt's hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest’s face.
The old priest slowly said: I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Amen, said Boris
Amen, said Matt
The old priest continued, Jesus died between two lying thieving ba****ds; and I would like to do the same...
